This sauce is absolutely delicious! I kept finding excuses to use it with everything, it was so tasty!
Going to make this sauce to go with your pizza recipes,, Could you please tell me How long will the sauce keep in the fridge thanks liz
Hi Liz, it should keep for about 1 week - enjoy!! It can also be frozen in little containers if you don't think you will use it all 🙂
A great pizza sauce. So tasty. I use it for topping grilled chicken and meatball subs too!
Hi, thanks for the recipe, its really tasty-have just doubled it and added a stock cube and pasta as it was simmering down to trial as a pasta bake-in the ovdn with 30% less cheese on top as i type 🙂 . I grate carrot as a sweetener-natural and healthy alternative. Thanks again!
Hi, do you just defrost and reheat?
yep that is correct.
Made this today forgot the tomato purée it still tasted delicious
